The remaining members of the Indian team are expected to join captain Rohit Sharma and the ODI squad after the final T20I in Pallekele on July 30.

Rohit Sharma, who leads India in both ODIs and Tests, has already arrived in Colombo. Alongside him, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Kuldeep Yadav, and Harshit Rana have checked into the ITC Ratnadipa hotel.

With India having already clinched the T20I series by winning the first two games, attention now turns to the ODI series. The series will commence on August 2 at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, with the second ODI scheduled for August 4 and the series concluding on August 7.
